You need to reduce headcount. Or the business has changed and you need different capabilities.
Can you simply restructure the existing roles and make them redundant? Not necessarily.
One of the most common mistakes employers make is treating redundancy as an opportunity to change the skill base of their workforce. A genuine redundancy is about the job no longer being required. It is not about preferring a different employee, a different skill set, or a different way of performing substantially the same job.
And that is only one of the traps.
Restructure, Redundancy or Retirement? is our employment masterclass for employers. Over a three course lunch at Doltone House on Jones Bay Wharf, we will work through the practical decisions you need to make before you change your workforce:
when a restructure creates a genuine redundancy
consultation requirements and when they apply
selecting roles and employees for redundancy
redeployment obligations
performance issues disguised as redundancy
changing position descriptions and skill requirements
restructuring and recruiting into new roles
adverse action, discrimination and unfair dismissal risks
redundancy pay and notice requirements
the documents to have before you announce a restructure
Friday 23 October 2026, from 1pm
Doltone House, Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont
Three course lunch and networking
The aim is simple. Identify the risks before you announce a restructure, rather than after you receive a claim. Places are limited.
